makes a pleasant change not hearing Mike Hall swearing, it puts me off the merseyside skeptics a lot. It’s also good to not have to listen to what he did last weekend at the start of every fucking podcast.

People love to share whatever it is they know. That is one of the reasons people find it so hard to keep a secret. You normally would not want to broadcast knowledge that is not so. When you encounter someone who disagrees, say on the existence of god, one of you has to be wrong. How do you tell which? The scientist’s way of resolving this is you both present your evidence for your belief and your case against the other’s assertion. This may be followed by experiments to resolve contentious issues. The Christian’s way of resolving this is to plug one’s ears with wax to avoid contamination with dissenting ideas and denounce the other as wicked spawn of the devil.

I see John Lennox was mentioned. That such an eminent theologian should misrepresent Richard’s views re a deist god, so dishonestly smacks of expediency. But then what else do Christian theologians have going for them ? Bugger all is perhaps not the most polite way of putting it, but true nonetheless.

Perhaps the Mods here could consider re-posting Paula Kirby’s superb Fleabytes article of a few years ago. John Lennox was one of those fleas and a very underwhelming one also ! A windbag of staggering flatulence posing as an Oxford Scholar.
